On this episode Fred sits down with Matt Berseth, Co-Founder and CIO of Jacksonville-based AI and machine learning firm NLP Logix, for a candid conversation about artificial intelligence's uneven journey into healthcare. Berseth traces his path from a small North Dakota farm to co-founding one of America's fastest-growing AI companies, and reflects on the landmark moment in 2016 when NLP Logix's algorithm finished in the top five of the international "CAMELYON16" digital pathology challenge, competing against teams from MIT, Harvard, and Google. The episode covers why clinical AI has been so slow to scale despite impressive research results, where the real near-term opportunity lies (hint: it's in the back office and workflow automation, not the OR), and what healthcare executives should be doing right now to position their organizations for the AI-accelerated decade ahead. Berseth closes with a compelling call to prioritize organizational AI literacy, ie, the foundational investment that separates AI-ready health systems from those still waiting on the sidelines.

S1E11: AI and Prescription Price Transparency, with Miriam Paramore, Founder and CEO of RxUtility On this episode, host Dr. Heather Bassett welcomes Miriam Paramore, founder and CEO of RxUtility, discussing a problem most patients don't realize exists: prescription drug prices are opaque, highly variable across pharmacies, and can fluctuate multiple times in a single day — leaving patients to discover the real cost only when they reach the counter. Miriam explains how RxUtility functions as a utility layer across health systems, payers, pharmacists, and digital health partners, aggregating insurance copays, manufacturer coupons, cash prices, and direct-to-consumer options into a single, actionable view at the point of prescribing and pickup. Miriam shares how she built RxUtility from inception with a small team by leaning on AI in place of traditional legal, financial, and operational roles — and what that taught her about the real-world limits and potential of agentic AI in healthcare. Dr. Bassett and Miriam also discuss Mimi™, RxUtility's generative AI orchestrator managing real-time pricing data across 20,000 drugs and 60,000 pharmacies, and their shared belief that AI should enhance clinical efficiency to bring more human connection to patient care.
